宿主因子莫罗尼白血病病毒10蛋白抑制异嗜性鼠白血病病毒相关病毒的复制

Host Factor Moloney Leukemia Virus 10(MOV10)Protein Inhibits Replication of the Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-related Virus(XMRV)

本研究探讨宿主因子莫罗尼白血病病毒10(Moloney leukemia virus 10MOV 10)蛋白对异嗜性鼠白血病病毒相关病毒(Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virusis,XMRV)复制的抑制作用,以及MOV 10抑制XMRV复制的初步机制和关键结构域。通过转染、感染、免疫印迹(Western blotting)及实时定量PCR(Real-time PCR)方法检测MOV10对XMRV的抑制作用及机制,结果显示MOV 10可明显抑制XMRV,并且这种抑制作用具有特异性。经进一步证实,MOV 10包裹进XMRV病毒中,随之在病毒感染细胞时发挥抑制作用;MOV 10可以抑制XMRV的DNA产生;MOV 10发挥抑制作用的关键结构域是MOV 10本身RNA解旋酶的7个保守结构域。以上的研究结果表明MOV 10对XMRV具有明显的抑制作用,初步阐明了MOV 10抑制XMRV复制的机制,明确了MOV 10发挥抑制作用的关键结构域。本研究进一步证实了MOV 10具有广谱的抗逆转录病毒的活性,在宿主对抗逆转录病毒感染时发挥重要作用。

We investigated inhibition of Moloney leukemia virus 10 （MOV10） upon xenotropic murine leu- kemia virus-related virus （XMRV） and made a preliminary study of the mechanism of action. Using trans- fection, infection, western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction, we found that MOV10 inhibi- ted XMRV replication. Using MOV10 overexpressed in viral producer cells, MOV10 was shown to reduce the infectivity of XMRV. MOV10 could be incorporated into XMRV, suggesting that MOV10 could un- dergo encapsidation by XMRV during viral assembly. MOV10 could also restrict the DNA production of XMRV in target cells. We found that the putative RNA-helicase domain of MOV10 maintained most of its XMRV inhibition. These results suggest that MOV10 could be required during the retroviral lifecycle. Perturbation of MOV10 disrupts the generation of infectious viral particles, suggesting that MOV10 has broad antiretroviral activity. Hence, MOV10 could be actively involved in host defense against retroviral infection.
